Hi

 

Anybody know why one of my cameras battery runs low when I have not used the indoors camera for ages? I wanted to see whether it could be possible that someone is hacking my system and watching me via the camera?

 

I use the outdoors one often but the indoors I never use and yet the battery keeps running low?

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

how long a time?

 

they do use some power remaining in contact with the base but should go for months with no usage at all

Thanks Tom

 

Strange thing is sometimes it keeps its charge and still says full battery however other times It drains within 1-2 weeks max when not in use? Only camera inside which I do not use that does this.

 

Makes me think someone is hacking into just that camera? Not much they can see other than me cooking in the kitchen lol

 

Nothing but problems with all the systems 😞

Are you turning off the hub? That will cause the camera to try to reconnect, depleting the battery. Another possibility is that something near the camera also uses the 2.4GHz band (not just WiFi) and is interfering with the signal between the hub and camera.
